Description

Borderlands 2 furthers the distinct blending of First Person Shooter and Role Playing genres to create the true evolution of the Role Playing Shooter. Team up with up to three other players for four-player online goodness, sharing mayhem as you spend hours leveling up your character and equipping them with one of the millions of badass weapons. Borderlands 2 features a new visually stunning array of procedurally generated guns, shields, grenades, artifacts, enemies and more. Choose one of the four new character classes to be taken through a carefully crafted and connected story to all new and surprising environments across the living planet of Pandora. Make new friends, arm them to the teeth and fight alongside them on your relentless quest for revenge and redemption.

All-New Characters and Classes: Choose from all new characters and classes including the Gunzerker, who can dual-wield any two weapons in the game. Dual machine guns? Cool. Dual rocket launchers? Of course! Dual Sniper Rifles? Sure, if that's your thing! More tactical perhaps? There are multiple classes to choose from!

Play Online with Friends: Share your adventures with friends on both Mac and PC through a seamless system enabling you to drop in and drop out of a campaign without ever having to restart the game.

World Connected Story: Left for dead in the frozen tundra of Pandora, begin your quest of revenge and redemption as the story drives you closer to the Hyperion Corporation and its evil founder, Handsome Jack.

New Badass Gun System: Millions upon millions of possible weapons means tons of new and innovative ways to engage foes on Pandora. Fire, electricity, corrosive acid, and more will all be at your disposal.

87 Bazillion...Everything: It's not just guns on Pandora, you will lust after procedurally generated shields,grenades, alien artifacts, class mods and much, much more.

Brand new environments: From the arctic tundra, through the dangerous grasslands, past the mysterious corrosive caverns to beyond, discover more of the unpredictable world of Pandora at every turn!

Brand new enemies: Hulking, gorilla-like Bullymongs, vicious predatory Stalkers and the Hyperion mechanical army, run by Handsome Jack, are just some of the new enemies you will face.

For some reason I can't quite describe...

I loved the first Borderlands. Played through it a couple of times with different classes. Had a blast. Great atmosphere, enjoyable story, crazy guns.

Starting out Borderlands 2, though, I just couldn't get involved. Perhaps it's too much of the same. I've put more than a few hours into it but just can't find the motivation to continue. Kinda disappointing, because I was really looking forward to it.

(Note: My copy was purchase through the Mac App Store — I couldn't get Steam to function on my Mac at the time.)

Wild!

The frontier-feel gives this FPS/RPG an exciting Wild West feel! A compelling story combined with incredible visuals and adrenaline-inducing action makes this game worthy of any time spent relaxing/procrastinating. As Salvador the Gunzerker says: "THIS IS AWESOME!"

[The graphics in my opinion and great ... the history and overwhelming and captivating, you'll quickly. really great for those who like games openworld. the only flaw, I liked it more than the first installment of the series as the story more real and less abstract]

10/10 BESTGAME

Story mod its good. Haha, borderlands, completely amazing game! same as the first one! 10/10, i personally love these games, and i would recommend that anyone who does not own this game or the first, to buy them both! you will not regret it, nice cartoony type feel to it aswell.

Blood Guts and Comedy

I run this on a June 2012 Macbook Air and althouth the graphics may not be up there the experience is still the same. The leveling systems you busy but does not limit you to a certain subclass since you can re allocate points. Great game.

Perfect Game

Such a fun game, it's the perfect mix of RPG and shooter and is without question the most fun game of the PS3/360 generation. Game runs well on meduim settings on my 13" rMBP. The story is decent and funny, but this is the kind of game where the addicting gameplay could make even the worst story exceptional.

Beautifully designed, but tedious after while.

This game has a lot going for it, not the least that you have about 1000 different guns to choose from and lots of interesting tactical sitiuations. As a shooter it's a pretty good one, if all you want to do is shoot and kill things. Well, that's what a shooter's for, isn't it? But I found after while I became bored and frustrated with it.

My main problem was that there's never any rest or respite and no puzzles to solve. You're constantly and viciously attacked everywhere you go, not only by the armed enemies but by the local fauna who are nasty and relentless. In trying to navigate within an area you have to fight off swarms of winged beasts, flying insects, giant worms and huge lumbering crab-like creatures. There's no time to explore or plan your next move. Then there's the way the checkpoints work: your game is saved at frequent checkpoints, so if you die during a session you go back to the last checkpoint; however, if you leave the game and go back you'll find yourself at a major waypoint which may be far away from your last checkpoint and you will have to fight your way back to where you were. All the baddies have respawned, though your goals and progress within a quest have been saved. The third annoyance is purely personal, I just don't like the comic book style of graphics. Somehow the bold outlines of everything ruin the feeling of immersion. All these are my observations and for some players Boerderlands 2 is the perfect game. But be warned: you don't have a lot of time to explore or recoop between battles. It's almost all shooting, all the time.
